You have been subscribed to a public bug:
The login screen has disproportionately big fonts, and it sometimes also
applies to the titlebar font during a GNOME session. Approximately, the
size is 72 where it's supposed to be 10. I regularly get this on the
Ubuntu LiveCD titlebars, on the Ubuntu Desktop login screen, and
sometimes on the Ubuntu Desktop titlebars (but a Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
solves that.) Ctrl-Alt-Backspace does not solve the login screen.
This does not apply with Sans only: I kept getting the huge font issue
for the titlebar also after I changed it to Free Sans (haven't had it
yet with DejaVu Sans Condensed yet tho).
On any themed greeter, the only parts affected are the input box, the
user list, the menus and the dialog boxes (which take more than the full
screen to display!); on the standard greeter it instead affects
everything on screen (you're practically typing blindly).
I found a workaround: setting the font size to 1 (or was it zero?) gives
approx. a 10 pt font (or at it fixed the titlebars on Ubuntu Live).
My laptop is a Toshiba Equium M70-272.
